Is it true that FM donations are diverted to PPH?
 

An rumor is floating around the internet that the Foreign Missions division of the UPC is diverting donations raised to fund missionaries. The scuttlebut is that FM is covering the massive operating losses of Pentecostal Publishing House by diverting donations.

Can anyone confirm whether or not this is true?

What?????????? There is a rumor about the UPC floating around the internet and this is the first of it on AFF?

I'm not sure if I'm impressed or disappointed. :)

Incidentally, you may get some opinions here and there, but I would recommend contacting headquarters if you have some legit interest or concern. I'm not sure people outside of there could be definitive.

Wouldn't be the first time I've seen the UPC divert funds, or collect funds under a false pretense...

I'm afraid that you might be mixing up facts.

Donations made directly to missionaries on the field are reported to HQ, but not aware that they are being diverted.

How could they be diverted if the donation is given to the missionary?

Also, before you ask this - here is more info:

AR: What is the total percentage deducted from funds for world evangelism center and for FMD administrative cost?

FMD: The Foreign Missions Division deducts 10%. By action of the General Conference, monthly PIM support is subject to the World Evangelism Center (WEC) 4% deduction as well. The total deducted is 14% for administration costs.
AR: What funds are subject to these deductions?

FMD: The Foreign Missions 10% administrative deduction applies to all funds sent to headquarters with the exception of missionary love offerings, medical assistance, memorial funds, foreign travel for associated ministers, and offerings sent by a foreign donor, such as an overseas church.

The WEC 4% deduction applies to Monthly PIM support and does NOT apply to funds sent for missionary love offerings, medical assistance, overseas buildings, literature, Bibles, evangelism, memorial funds, missionary equipment and other special projects. Also, the WEC 4% does not apply to AIM support.

AR: How is the Foreign Missions administrative deduction used?

FMD: The Foreign Missions 10% administrative deduction is used to pay the division’s monthly operating expenses. This includes such expenses as staff payroll, telephone expense, printing costs, OnSite, Insight, and Focal Points printing and mailing costs, General Conference display, and missionary orientation costs.

It also covers the promotion of fundraising for the missionary family. The 10% administrative deduction is established by action of the General Conference, and Foreign Missions Division and is the only division restricted to a defined percentage of gross revenues to cover operating expenses.
